The Quranic, or for Christian. Biblical story of Moses is the struggle of the children of Israel under the cruelty of the Pharoah of Egypt and the Prophet Moses freed them from bondage to cross the parted Red Sea.

To equate the Children of Israel and Pharoah with Malaysian Baru and UMNO respectively, came off as an exegeration. Could Tun Dr Mahathir be the acceptable Moses that led the children of Malaysia Baru out of the tyranny of UMNO.

It was during the reformasi era that he was then labelled as Mahafiraun.

Upon crossing the Red Sea, the Children of Israel had their disagreements and parted ways into diaspora.

Hishamuddin may not have the 38 or 30 claimed to be in the bag. Apparently, other than the 2 and recent 5 MPs, the so-called frogs would only support Mahathir in the event of a vote of no confidence in Parliament.

So they claimed. But at the same time, the development at PPBM and within PH may have discouraged many of the MPs from leapfrogging.

In the meanwhile, Anwar have given out the war order. Soon we will be hearing the Reformasi! Mahafiraun! chant repeat itself.

This time the likes of Khalid Jaafar and Institiut Kajian Dasar, where the Reformis of 1997 congregate, is on Azmin's payroll.

Nevertheless, control may not be in the bag for Mahathir as former UMNO Sabah leaders are flocking to PPBM.

Time may not be on his side.

Not withstanding his advanced age, Mahathir has to honour his own promise to vacate after two years though Saifuddin Abdullah and Salahuddin Ayub claimed no such time discussed.

DAP has not hinted of any change of mind and it should remain Anwar not Muhyiddin after Mahathir.

And, talk on the grapevine is Muhyiddin cut a deal with Anwar. Almost half of PPBM's MP are aligned to him.

In the meanwhile, Shafie's Warisan may not be happy with the attendance of former UMNO Sabah at PPBM's AGM.

However, Mahathir is not likely to give up. He has the resources and a card up his sleeve. Vincent Tan is restructuring Berjaya Group.

Something major is to happen tomorrow, January 2nd. A possible game changer that could destabilise Mahathir's game changer.

The economy is going down grand canyon and a Deputy Minister asked Malaysian the nonsense to consume more fried food to increase use of palm oil at a time access to public healthcare will eventually be limited.
